I am sorry. This book bothered me to no end and I have no idea why. I read it like a week ago and remember NONE of it.. It bored me to tears and where I did find things that I could have liked nothing left a memory on my mind. I just could not love it like I wanted to!

July 30, 2012I found this book to be very hard to get into. But if you stick with it, it turns out to be quite the page turner. All in all, and enjoyable read if you can get past the scientific terms.

If you enjoy over thinking every little thing and forced humor, this is the book for you.

3.5 stars...still trying to process this one...I'll let you know when I can write something coherent.
Update...Ok. I think I figured out how to describe this book. And I'm bumping it to 4 stars. In the beginning, I found it hard to 'get' this book. I found the dialogue a little hard to follow. Sometimes it was difficult to understand who was talking. I would re-read to try and figure out who said that! But by about half way through the book, I got it. I could actually see the scenes as they might play out on the big screen. And a lot of them were very well written...funny, emotional, intense. I would compare this book to one of those Sundance Film type movies that wins lots of awards for emotional depth and great artistry on the part of the author...but not a blockbuster, mainstream type of movie that brings in billions of dollars at the box office. When all was said and done, I found that I really enjoyed the story. It didn't always play out like I thought it would. Definitely not your typical gushy romance novel that is enjoyed by the majority of readers, yet totally predictable and 'safe'. This one felt more 'artsy' to me and I liked the unpredictability of it and I also enjoyed being a little out of my comfort zone!
This one does have some swearing in it, with plenty of extreme words from the heroine's snarky friend. As far as love scenes...we get a little description, but not too much. Very tastefully done. If those things don't offend you and you'd like to read something a little different, pick this one! It left me feeling happy and satisfied!

It's been awhile since I have given a book a 3 star rating. I had a very difficult time getting into this book. Even thought about stopping but decided to read the reviews and became hopeful I would get into it. It does get better just over half way in but then I thought it slowed back up towards the end with the ending being fairly rushed. This book could have been much shorter by eliminating all the friend "banter" and classroom lessons. For me all that got to being very tedious and really dragged the book down. I did a lot of fast forwarding. I usually always love the heroine of the books I read but I found it hard to like Hattie. I was so glad Joe found himself, from all accounts, a sweet hottie when Hattie dumped him for not measuring up to her standards for being a sperm donor. I wish the author would have given us more background on Joe instead of all the other "filler" that I found boring. I did find this book to be very humorous at times, often laughing out loud.

In this time of runaway best sellers, I always get a special thrill when I find a great book that all my friends AREN'T talking about....yet! I like to take the path less traveled. I discovered Kathy Dunnehoff via another author and I'm on a quest to read everything she's written so far.
This book was a bit slow to start, I thought. I think that slower start plays well with the fact that Hattie is an intellect, it takes some time to get to know her and understand her quirkiness.
Once the story gets rolling, hang on tight! What might seem like fluff, really packs a punch. I wasn't expecting the depth of the storyline involving Angela and Rose. Every time Hattie was near a child, or holding an infant, her desire for motherhood was palpable. I'd say that's a story well written.
It's almost the end of summer and I've discovered my perfect beach reads!

OK I managed to struggle through this book but only because I skimmed through a lot of it. I was bored and confused with all of the biology talk (and there was way too much of it). Also, I couldn't make myself like Hattie. I thought she was a boring character that spent too much time finding fault in other people. What I got out of it is that she doesn't seem to believe love is a true emotion even though she and people around her show love, whether it be her love for her friends, her very in love couple friends, her still married after over 40 years parents, and now even Joe, one of the 6 men that tells her he loves her.
Good points of this book for me were of course Joe, I really liked his character, and I love Bob.

I really love this author's style. I've read the Do Over and Back to U and actually laughed out loud while reading them. The author's sense of humor just cracks me up. But, those books are set in my stage of life: mother of kids. This story about a woman's biological clock kicking in was more difficult to relate to. Perhaps, a difficult subject to write about as women feel deeply and quite differently about having children. I could relate to the plan though: a checklist and systematic progression. overall, enjoyed it 3.5 stars.

At the beginning of this book, I was thinking, random thought much?!?!? I was not even sure I was going to be able to finish it unless I had an over abundance of coffee in my system, but the for whatever reason I just couldn't give up on it! I am so very thankful that I didn't! The story was great! I am glad I stuck with it! So here is 5 stars to you Kathy because anyone who can keep me sucked in a story line when I am questioning my sanity by reading it, is pretty darn good!

took a bit to get into but then it got interesting. and then the last bit of it dragged in spots. some fuuny parts and fun banter between the friends. I found myself skimming parts that had gotten too wordy regarding things not related to the main story. ended op how you'd want it to but very abrupt.

I must admit this was not what I expected. It starts off slow and doesn't pick up steam till about the sixth chapter. That being said I am glad that I don't give up easily. Once the story gets moving it did get good. Hattie thinks it will be easy to just pick a man to father a child for her. What she finds is totally opposite of what she is looking for.

Great read for the summer! Funny, intelligent, it asks the question, "What does it mean these days to be a mother?" And then takes a novel look at the question. Dating, love, attraction, it's all there presented in a pleasant, funny style. Check it out and see!

I felt the writing was hard to follow. I'm not sure I even liked the main character or her friend the medical sales rep. It was difficult to complete the book but I hate not knowing how a story ends so I skimmed most of it.

This was a first draft. Lots of gaps in the action, the chapter division needed to be planned out better, and I'm still not sure what happened at the end.

The author has a great command of intellectual ideas and sets them to humor. It takes a great command of language to pull off the serious with a laugh. This was fun to read!
